Hi, LJ- Not everyone I know says 3 weeks is the magic number and it certainly was not for us :rolleyes: The majic number is when the person enduring this tx. starts feeling better-different for everyone- 16 days out of rad is still "feeling the results of rad" for most. Trying to swalow is good- sleeping oar resting when you need to is good-keeping up with pain control is good-experimenting with food is good- taking your time is good. Amy in the Ozarks
